What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Burneys Sweets More's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are expected to complete lease negotiations within a 4 to 6 month period before the store's opening. Burneys Sweets More offers assistance during this process.
This timeframe is important for prospective franchisees to consider as delays in lease negotiations can impact the overall timeline for opening their Burneys Sweets More location. Factors such as the availability of suitable sites, the franchisee's ability to obtain a lease, and any delays from the prospective landlord can affect this timeline. Franchisees should proactively manage this process to avoid potential setbacks.
It's also important to note that Burneys Sweets More must accept the site location and lease if the franchisee does not own the premises. The franchisor typically makes a decision within 30 days of receiving the request, but if a lease or purchase contract isn't executed within a reasonable time after site acceptance, Burneys Sweets More reserves the right to offer the location to another applicant or develop it as a company-owned store.
